The set-up is now complete and this tab will be the same as the screen shot below.

If your FileZilla Tabs have been set in accordance with the foregoing instructions and compare with the screen shots, then provided you are online, clicking on the Connect button at the bottom of either of the tabs will cause FileZilla to connect to the Freepages Server. Check the Log at the top of the page and if all has gone as expected, the contents of the 'genealogy_html' community will appear in the Explorer style window on the right, while your Local files will be on the left side.

Select a file in your Local folder by right clicking on it and then click on 'upload'. Your file will be transfered to the Server and will appear in the Directory of the Remote Site.
